Hello.  When playing music, I am no longer presented with the current
clock time.

Did it show before? Press the "Now playing" button several times until you get the display mode you want.

Is there a plugin that modifies the Now Playing display
options, to allow the current time rather than the small spectrum that
I have currently?  Thanks.

There's a plugin which does a lot more than the Now Playing screensaver:

But the spectrum is independant of the screensaver. You can change it as described above (or through the web interface, "Player settings").

Also, can someone explain Now Playing (jump back on wake) vs. Now
Playing?

With the standard "Now Playing" screensaver you'll stay in the same area as if you hit the "Now playing" button. It's where you have the current playlist.

The "...jump back" option allows you to continue where the screensaver kicked in. Let's say you were browsing some artists, started playback of one you're interested in. After 30 seconds the screensaver kicks in.

Now, with the default "Now playing" you'd have to manually return to the artist list, because you landed in the current playlist. The "...jump back" will bring you back to the artist list, so you can immediately select another artist.

Not quite sure what the jumping is about.  All I noticed was
that the jump back one didn't seem to do a very good job of keeping the
song title presented.  Is "on wake" the end of every song or the end of
the playlist (I'd expect the latter).  Thanks again.

On wake is when you hit any button on the remote control, when you're waking up the screensaver.
